Chechnya: Jihadists Call for Offensive Against Russia
The leadership of the Chechen jihadists has called for ``total war, everywhere'' against both military and civilian targets throughout all of Russia. Their goal is Russia's total pullout from Chechnya and the establishment of an Islamic republic.
Chechen propaganda official, Movladi Udugov, told the web newspaper, Caucasus Times, that the Chechen jihadists will rely mostly on suicide bombers and small mobile groups acting on their own to carry out their operations against the `infidel'. Suicide bombers have not struck in Russia since summer 2004.
Udugov emphasized that his comrades should not be called ``militants'' or ``rebels'' as the western press often tries to depict the Chechen jihadists. Instead, he asked that journalists call them, ``the forces of Islamic revival.''
``Sharia law is divine, established by Allah, and everyone must submit to it: Muslims and non-Muslims, rich and poor, leaders and servants, and all people independent of their social or political status.''
``This is my prognosis,'' concluded Udugov. ``Our efforts will not be on the scale of operations, but on their effectiveness. And this means being able to hit any target in both the Caucasus region, as well as throughout Russia.''
